How I Used YouTube To Sell 60 T-Shirts the Night My Website Launched

Interesting story over at behance from the folks who run I’m A Hot Tee that talks about their experiences using social media (youtube) to kickstart sales with their store.

“In the t-shirt business, companies live or die by one thing: Whether or not their marketing plan works.

Launching I’m a Hot Tee entirely out of pocket, I had a limited budget for marketing, and really want to make sure that every dollar was well-spent. I had just read Malcolm Gladwell’s brilliant book The Tipping Point, and it gave me a number of ideas.
